"The 35th anniversary edition of A Confederacy of Dunces celebrates Toole's novel as well as one of the most memorable protagonists in American literature, Ignatius J. Reilly, whom Walker Percy dubbed 'slob extraordinaire, a mad Oliver Hardy, a fat Don Quixote, a perverse Thomas Aquinas rolled into one.' Set in New Orleans with a wild cast of characters ... the novel serves as an outlandish but believable tribute to a city defined by its parade of eccentric denizens"--Dust jacket flap.
